optimum uses of water and nitrogen resources are the most important factors in agricultural systems due to limitations of agricultural inputs especially water. in order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation on efficiency and productivity of water consumption in three crop (sugar beet, corn and sesame) an experiment was carried out as strip split plo...

ABSTRACT- Maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. Therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...

to determine sugar beet water requirement and the effect of changing the quantity of applied water on some production components, a study was carried out in ekbatan agricultural research station of hamedān, iran in four years (1994-1997) during which optimum water requirement, root and sugar yield, water use efficiency on the basis of root yield, sugar percentage and water use efficiency on the...

effect of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer on percentage of grain fatty acids, yield, water and nitrogen use efficiency of pumpkin was studies as split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in growing season of 2013. irrigation treatments (320, 420, 600 and 900 mm ha-1) were se as main plots and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 130, 260, 390 and 520 k...

water deficit and low nitrogen content of soil are the two major yield limiting factors in most maize (zea mays l.) producing areas. the objective of the current research was to evaluate the relationships between photosynthetic water and nitrogen use efficiency at different levels of soil moisture and nitrogen contents. a factorial experiment, based on completely randomized design with 3 replic...

A study was conducted over 2 years to determine whether growth under elevated CO(2) (700 μmol mol(-1) ) and temperature (ambient + 4 °C) conditions modifies photochemical efficiency or only the use of electron transport products in spring wheat grown in field chambers. Elevated atmospheric CO(2) concentrations increased crop dry matter at maturity by 12-17%, while above-ambient temperatures d...
